Hey guys. I'm trying to shake down a hard starting skandic 440 fan. She's a bitch to start cold but once warmed up it seems to run and start just fine. It likes to die when engaging the rer as well...it works maybe one in 5 times. Cleaned the carb, new plugs, clean air filter = no change. I'm thinking compression is the culprit: I'm at 85 on the mag side, 75 pto side. I'm assuming this is low even for a fan cooled sled, web search turned up mixed results but most say it's too low. Just hoping someone could confirm my suspicion before I tear the jugs off this thing. Thanks!
